Add it to the list of all the possible cosmetic surgeries under the sun, says a new report in the October issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

So being a saint about your food weaknesses (as Margarita blogs about today--check it out here), may not help you too much in the back department.

What do you think about the concept of a back lift--"leave my back flab alone," or "sure, I'd consider a little nip tuck?" And by the way, the woman in the photo--I want to be there on that beach right now!
